{{
''[[Dead Ends]]'' is a work of interactive zombie fiction by [[Nate Piekos]] that follows the story of a young delivery boy named Eddie Beames who finds himself in the middle of a zombie apocalypse when strange meteors begin falling from the sky one night. With each new chapter comes new twists and turns, new allies and enemies, and new danger. Sadly, as of this writing it hasn't updated in over a year (but at six chapters is still worth checking out). It can be found
